Author Notes:

As I think I mentioned elsewhere over the last year or so, this issue's story came to me as a dream - literally, I woke up from dreaming it laughing, and said, 'I have to write this story.' This is the scene I remembered most vividly upon waking up... C.H. yanking her cape from her back.

She should make him split those trousers of his. He's about to burst out of them anyway. That's one of the top things that will end any fight.

- A punch in the kisser (even the best-laid plan gets changed after the first hard punch in the face)

- Getting pants'd or splitting one's pant crotch (NOBODY can be suave when there's a sudden breeze in their nether regions)

- Take his cell phone away. That will distract ANYBODY in this day and age. If you ever get attacked, just take the attacker's smartphone and throw it as far as you can. He WILL go after it, and he may even let go of your cape to do it.

I just realized that LL's cape and skirt are different shades of blue. I like that design decision.

The old serise "Lois and Clark" had Superman's cape and boots different shades of red. The boots were darker, almost a maroon, and the cape was brighter, more like a crimson. I liked that decision too.

Actually, they are the exact same color, based on CMYK values. Exactly the same.

The reason they look different is that the skirt is made of a velvety material and the cape is more of a cotton-like material (CH is an expert hence why he asked), and so they reflect the sunlight differently.

In some lighting regimes they look more similar than in others.

By the same token the boots and gloves are the same color (off-white) but reflect light differently, as does the belt. Because they are made of different materials. Depending on the lighting regime, they will reflect, bounce, and so on the light in different ways.

He's gone too far, this time! Taking liberties with Liberty Lass, by liberating Liberty's luxurious luxury? Robbing a minor by disrobing her is a major offense!

If she responds by giving him a super-powered kick in the groin, they'll both have committed an indecent assault. (I apologize, if it seems I'm taking such serious crimes lightly. I was just thinking about how eyewitnesses could interpret this, and what the authorities could charge him with. Also, I have a habit of writing everything in punishing puns or rhymes against nature.)

So high up above,
He latched onto his love,
Not the lass, but the cape from his caper

Alack and alas,
It will go back to Lass,
Once her boot, from behind, kicks his... mass

Tears, he'll be oozing,
New town, he'll be choosing,
For, his capes and jetpack, he'll be losing
